The Darwin Incident (ダーウィン事変)

Do we approve of terrorism?

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

No. We are anti-terror.

But humans themselves are terrorizing animals.

The ecological destruction from animal exploitation

is a huge driver of global warming and the outbreak of disease.

We must not further tarnish

the legacy we leave to future generations.

The current human population must bear...

Eat shit, vegans.

C'mon, let's go.

All over the country?

Yes. After that Shrews High incident,

harassment against vegans and activists has increased.

The FBI has also formed a task force

out of caution for public safety.

It seems this country has entered a new phase.

I'm FBI Agent Maurice Williams.

He's my partner, Kyle Foster.

Welcome to Shrews. I'll show you to your desks.

This way.

Get out of Shrews.

And take that damn monkey with you.

EPISODE 8 VISITORS

What? What is this? Just who do you think...

Good evening. It's Mr. Schulz, isn't it?

I'm Gilbert. This is my wife, Hannah.

I know who you are.

Met you when you were just a lil nipper

in your grandpa's arms.

You don't say. Well, if you'd like to talk, won't you come inside?

Didn't come here to chitchat, boy.

We're tellin' ya to get outta here.

You're some of them "vegans," too, ain't ya?

Bunch of kids got killed. Shot dead.

All 'cause you folks wanted to act all liberal and bring that monkey here.

That's not true. Charlie's not...

I don't care what you call it.

That thing is a cursed monster,

the offspring of a human and a filthy animal.

It's against God and nature.

That's what brought disaster on this town.

And it won't end as long as...

My hernia…

Pastor Maxwell.

Lucy.

Listen to you, you creeps talking shit about Charlie

when you don't know a damn thing about him!

Fuck you!

You've got it all wrong about the shooting.

Charlie saved a bunch of students' lives.

Yes, well, the Devil ever aims to deceive us.

Dear God, please forgive this foolish girl.

Foolish? You know what's foolish?

This fucking 21st-century witch hunt.

How dare you? Talking like that to the pastor.

Ow… Get the hell off!

Who are your parents, kid?

It's him.

Charlie.

You little… monster…

Let. Her. Go.

Charlie?

Norman.

Let the girl go.

You okay?

You see that? That's the power of the Devil to do us harm.

It's proof that thing's with the terrorists.

All of you get out of here right now!

Or I'm calling the police! You're on private property!

If you don't leave right now, I'll have you arrested for trespassing!

Everything okay here?

FBI.

We were on security detail and heard raised voices.

The FBI? Why are they in this little town?

These folks bothering you, Mr. Stein? Mrs. Stein?

No, it's fine.

They're our neighbors.

And they were just leaving. Isn't that right?

C'mon.

You two, inside.

Ma'am.

I respect the laws of this nation, too.

But remember this.

The law only covers

a tiny fraction of what's out there.

Geez. Pretty contentious, huh?

Here, Hannah.

I emailed the deputy.

Deputy Graham?

Yup. You said you thought he might be on our side, right?

I'm still not convinced,

but either way, I doubt we can count on the FBI.

Right there with you…

Um…

Lucy.

Uh, sorry. I…

Probably shouldn't have gotten into it with them, right?

I ended up totally cussing them out.

You're right.

That wasn't very genteel of you.

I do think you should watch your mouth, if only for your own sake.

But then again, if that wasn't the time to use the f-word,

when is?

You really laid into them.

Sure you don't wanna become a lawyer?

I'll think about it.

You're moving your whole body.

Look, you're doing it again.

Hey, Bert.

Does Charlie seem a little different to you?

I mean, he's gotten a little taller, I guess.

Oh, never mind.

What are you…

Okay, you two, time to finish up.

Lucy, it's late, so we'll drive you home.

Okay.

We've identified the corpse found in the woods

as Rainey S. Carty. Owned a diner.

And this is footage taken by the diner's security camera…

We're not letting them get away this time. Our good name is on the line here.

What about the Humanzee?

Huh?

I mean, this here in the report.

The one you're hiding from the press.

"When the police tried to shoot the culprit,

student C took action in an apparent attempt to prevent this."

This "student C" is Charlie, right?

This is sufficient evidence to link him to the terrorists.

We need to bring him in for questioning right away.

Look…

Even if we wanted to question him,

his adoptive parents won't bring him in voluntarily,

and he's not considered a "person," so we can't do anything under existing law.

You should've brought him in right after the shooting.

Just letting him stroll off home, that was a big mistake.

You guys are the ones who made the mistake.

If you had taken down the ALA right after that attack in New York,

we might have been able to prevent all this.

- What did you say? - Come on now, folks.

The important thing here is to catch the ALA

and restore order.

So you're absolutely right, Deputy Graham.

We need to stop bickering and cooperate.

We'll find some pretext to seize the Humanzee.

Leave it to us.

All right, continue with every line of inquiry.

Got me? Don't leave a single stone unturned.

Yes, sir.

Ronnie Schulz. He's a big man in town.

Publicly and behind the scenes.

He's got a lot of influence in elections for sheriff,

and the police can't ignore him, either.

Guy like that shows up to threaten the Steins, huh?

Yeah, little towns always need someone to coordinate things.

So what are we gonna do about the Humanzee?

Our job's to bring him back to Quantico with us,

but it's gonna be tricky with that congresswoman behind him.

If their trouble with the neighbors got out of hand, we could intervene.

Gotcha.

Shit. They deliberately leaked it.

I'm fed up with all this.

I just wish they'd hurry up and catch them already.

You actually talked with that ALA guy, didn't you, Lucy?

Did he say anything that might give us a clue?

That reminds me, there was something strange.

He called me "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

Kaleidoscope eyes? What?

Search me. I don't think I mentioned it to the police, either.

Kind of creepy, I don't like it.

It's The Beatles!

"The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

It's from a Beatles song. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."

He was referencing its lyrics.

It was the third track on their eighth album,

It's got surreal lyrics and there was a rumor it was based on an acid trip.

Even the song's initials spell "LSD."

But actually, it was just a coincidence.

John named the song after a picture his son drew.

The picture was of his son's classmate, Lucy, flying through the sky.

That's why that guy called you "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

Huh?

Well done, Sherlock.
